Growth! How do you think "Radio" can improve the massage profession?

Some ideas I have heard so far are: Interview every massage leader there is for posterity, education, public awareness and getting music/massage news into massage establishments. What do you think and are any of these good ideas to you?

Have you visited Massage Therapy Radio and saw all the information already there? Check it out guys and use your imagination. Scott, Eric and all the folks from Canada are reaching out. Let's welcome them and invite all our friends here as well. This is going to be a great group that will promote massage in many ways!

P.S. And yes, the World Massage Conference, Canadian Massage Conference and Massage Therapy Radio are all basically handled by this group. I invite you all to get to know these massage leaders!

My employer advertises on Kat Kountry radio station here locally. I do not listen to that station so I have not heard any of the ads. I do not know how much business this has generated either. During our Grand Opening back in May, 2009, they were also present and some free massages were given away by/through them.

I have listened to some of the broadcasts by Massage Therapy Radio and receive their emails on a regular basis. I truly enjoyed the World Massage Conference. Canadian Massage Conference in November, 2010, will have to think about. It might be fun though. I have emailed these folks and I can say they email back right away. On the World Massage Conference they were actively present and involved in the chat rooms and did all they could to make sure everyone had as good of an experiece and connection as they could have. I have enjoyed getting to know them.

Hi Mike

Thanks for creating this topic. I believe that Massage Therapy Radio has improved our profession by removing barriers of access. Leaders in our profession from around the globe with access to a telephone can communicate with therapists over the computer from the comfort of their home or office for free. Be well. Scott

Ain't it cool? Keep them conversations going! Highlight everybody's story. All this will be preserved for history! In March it will be about time to do Festival 2010 show, right!

There is so much more this year, than last. It doubled again. You guys are going to love KY. Berea is the Arts and Crafts Capitol of KY! You gotta record Ralph Stephens playing "washboard", at the Bluegrass Jam, for prosperity!
